Koraput admn initiates process to expand Jeypore airport
1 2 Koraput: In a major step toward enhancing regional air connectivity, the Koraput administration has initiated the land schedule exercise to facilitate the expansion of Jeypore airport from 2B to 3C category. The proposed upgrade will enable the airport to accommodate 72-seater aircrafts and support round-the-clock operations, unaffected by runway visual range limitations. According to sub-collector (Jeypore) A Sasya Reddy, the state commerce department has approved the airport's upgradation and over 200 acres of land will be acquired to meet the requirements. "Following instructions from the state govt, a detailed land schedule survey has been initiated to identify the coordinates and quantum of land needed for the expansion," she said. The land identified for acquisition includes areas in Banko Bija, Gagnapur and Ekamba villages. As part of the process, a social impact assessment survey will follow, along with gram sabha meetings, to record the opinions and grievances of the affected villagers. "If all procedures move forward smoothly, we are hopeful that larger aircrafts could begin operations at Jeypore airport within the next two years," Reddy added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Jeypore tehsildar Chittranjan Patnaik stated that while the exact land requirement is still under final assessment, approximately 250 to 280 acres, both private and govt land, may be acquired. The move comes after the Airports Authority of India (AAI) submitted a favourable feasibility survey report last August, supporting the airport's expansion. Under the proposed plan, the current 1,200-meter runway will be extended to 2,700 meters, with additional upgrades in safety and security infrastructure to meet higher operational standards. Jeypore airport, which began commercial operations on October 31, 2022 under the UDAN regional connectivity scheme, currently handles two nine-seater flights daily between Bhubaneswar and Jeypore and one daily flight connecting Jeypore to Visakhapatnam. "The expansion will significantly boost regional connectivity, enhance the tourism potential of the district while positioning Jeypore as a vital travel and economic hub in the state," Reddy added.

Three private education institutes fined for defacing Odisha government buildings
JEYPORE: The Jeypore municipality authorities on Friday imposed penalty on three educational institutions for defacing government establishments by sticking banners and posters for commercial purpose. Sources said, the private educational institutions have been using the walls of government establishments, especially schools and colleges, for luring students to their campus which evoked resentment among the residents. The walls of Vikram Deb University were particularly defaced by the posters and banners of the private institutions. Taking cognisance of the issue, Jeypore sub-collector-cum-municipality executive officer A Sasya Reddy ordered three private educational institutions to remove the banners and posters immediately and imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on each for disfiguring public property. The institutions are Royal Junior college, Times Degree College and Ganesh Coaching Centre. Reddy informed media that the institutions were first asked to remove the posters and banners but they did not respond. However, if they repeat the violations, stringent action will be taken by the administration. Meanwhile, the municipality has urged the private agencies to seek permission for sticking banners and posters in public places and assured to provide permission as soon as they apply.
